This recipe is great as a midweek supper, and the leftovers are even better in a pie or with some pasta.

3. Onion Seeds

4. Cumin Seeds

5. Curry Leaves

Bismillah, let's begin!

To start, take 8 green chillies, and slit them.

Next, peel and slice 2 onions.

For the spices, take:

4 curry leaves

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon onion seeds

Next, add 1/2 kilo of whole cut chicken. You can, of course, use boneless chicken. Stir-fry for a few minutes.

Next, take any variety of mixed vegetables that you have on hand. I used frozen, but you can use what you like and make this dish your own.Add the vegetables to the pan, stir in and bring to the boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 45 minutes or until cooked. If it starts to dry out too much, add a splash of water.
